Stal Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Where do you work where your contract has an expiry date on it? Some people are hired for a certain amount of time. Proper specialist programmers for example. In entertainment folks might be hired for X amount of shows. Normally in retail, customer service etc there is no end date as such once hired.

ujpest doza Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Where do you work where your contract has an expiry date on it? Most teachers these days only get fixed term 12 month contracts. Very hard to get a permanent one, they're like rocking horse shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 stars out of 5 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 “And Ashley doesn’t care if they get relegated, he has proven the fact that it doesn’t cost him anything, so he doesn’t care. “The only time Mike Ashley will sell Newcastle is when it really starts to cost him something.” That is it.

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 To say a little more on this, I get that employers often try to change people's contacts, often to terms which are worse for the employees. I also get that many employees feel they have to sign these contracts. But you don't. You can just say "no" and insist you work under the old terms. Any attempt to sack you for that or terminate your contract would count as unfair dismissal. That's not strictly true. Employers can go extreme and do something called 'Terminate and re-engage' where they basically terminate your contract and offer you the new one. If you don't accept it, you don't have a job. As I said, that's extreme but they can do that But that termination is unfair dismissal. Take them to court and you will win unless they can show that had a valid reason to terminate you. Well quite, but they can legitimise the termination within the parameters of employment law. Anyway, enough HR tittle tattle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 they can legitimise the termination within the parameters of employment law. I have to strongly dispute this. You can't just terminate someone who is good at their job and then prove that's legitimate at tribunal. Especially if you've offered them a new contract! AND done it to everyone else on the payroll too. Like I said earlier, I've been through this twice myself. Successfully. Once against one of the biggest North East employers who thought they could bully their staff and that nobody would dare stand up to them. You simply cannot change someone's contract without their permission. Anyway, Ashley's a cunt. Let's get back to something we all agree on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ways of making your position redundant and offering you the new contract under a different guise, but either way will cost them money. You are protected by law in a takeover to refuse any contract and retain your existing contract though. If there's a will there's a way and if he wanted to be a twat (he is) he could find a way. All that matters to him is money and how much he can squeeze out of any company with minimum outlay, it's an unsustainable business model and it will come down on him at some point. Ashley just needs to fuck off, he's a blight not just on NUFC but on the English high street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I would have thought the answer was "It depends" on factors like the industry and nature of the contracts. There are too many variables involved in employment law to make blanket statements. That said, English employment laws allow zero-hour contracts, so its clearly bonkers there.

Even if he is struggling to raise the funds to buy us, he has a proven track record of growing clubs commercially so I’d expect us to improve that aspect of the club hugely.

Its interesting that with the threat of this being raised in parliament, he caved and invited her to meet him. But, then it seems he told her this too... “Mr Ashley said the club can only spend what it generates but, as I’ll say in the debate, that is a form of austerity economics — a club needs investment to reach its potential.” As you say, he isn't even spending that or allowing the manager to have it to spend. The threat of Rafa walking away without 2 signings has only prompted talk of two unknown loan signings. The whole thing is just rotten, and the more exposure it gets, the more pressure hopefully piles on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
